how much money have you got? AP racing do a fantastic kit with floating disks and bells but at a price....

There you go then...

Budget choice (not that they are bad!) is Hi Spec / Wilwood. Feeling flush choice is AP Racing and possibly Brembo too.

Ive got about 400 MAXIMUM to spend on the front only.

Standard VTR wheels but if required i can go VTS

That's not enough for 4 pots I'm affraid. For a decent set of 283mm disks and pads, you're looking at over £200. Then there's the calipers!

why do you need 4 pots? to 'look' good? you can get juts as good braking with singel pots. i have had brembos and they are just overkill imo. i am now going to use the 266mm brakes.

nah, it just catchs on the strut and the botl holes wont line up, so you need to take the corner off and it fits fine.
